Venue: Brussels, Belgium

About

The final conference Sustainable food communities of practice – meet and eat of the three-year project Foodlinks (www.foodlinkscommunity.net ), to take place in October 2013 in Brussels, will present the latest findings in the fields of short food supply chains, public procurement, and urban food strategies.

The conference theme is "Good cooperation between science, society and policy promotes sustainable food consumption and production".

We invite you to discuss with us:

• How short food supply chains can effectively work as policy tools
• How to maximise the benefits of sustainable public procurement of food
• How to implement sustainable food strategies in European cities

The conference actively seeks to integrate your experience and knowledge in the field, and thereby verify our findings from the project.

You will experience novel and innovative ways of cooperation between researchers, policy makers and civil society organisations.

The conference is organised by the Foodlinks Partner FiBL - The Research Institute of Organic Agriculture.
